Budget Acoustic Bass

I bought a dean EAB a while back from musicians friend for $150. The first one I recieved had a cracked heel block right out of the box. I sent it back. Sometime about a month later I finally recieved a replacement. All in all I am happy with the dean, but the electronics are poor. I would suggest some sort of preamp if you are going to plug it in. I like the fact that it is a 35" scale bass and has a pretty good tone unplugged.
